Vehicle: 51951
A Trans-Pennine set arrives at Brough on 2nd September 1983 on a service to Hull with E51951 leading. These units were the mainstays on Hull to Manchester and Liverpool trains for around 20 years. Brough is still a mandatory stopping point for all services out of the city to York, Manchester and London. The large British Aerospace factory (formerly Blackburn's) still has a large percentage of it's workforce who travel to work by train. Syd Young.
Vehicle: 51952 Set: 52
E51952 has a freshly painted front end when seen at Brough on the rear of a Trans-Pennine service to Hull on 2nd September 1983. The repainting had been done at BG after a minor bump. The window rubbers, normally left black, were painted as they had a fair amount of paint on them already. The unit has the number "52" hand-painted on the front, 51961 and 51964 also had numbers painted on the front end. It has had red bulbs installed in the old headcode panel, presumably to prevent damage to the nicely painted lamp-brackets! Syd Young.

The use of a power-trailer formation such as this may have also been due to stock shortages, as DMUs in the north-east were generally formed as power-twins by this date, to have any hope of maintaining accelerated schedules intended for Pacers.
